Patient satisfaction with direct access colonoscopy informed consent is high. However, providing information before bowel preparation could further reduce medico-legal risks and improve the patient experience.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Law
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Direct access colonoscopy is common but raises concerns about informed consent adequacy.
  • Assessing patient perspective on informed consent is crucial for medico-legal risk management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adequacy of informed consent for direct access colonoscopy from the patient's viewpoint.
  • Identify factors influencing patient satisfaction with the informed consent process.

Main Methods:

  • A structured questionnaire was administered to patients undergoing direct access colonoscopy.
  • Data collected from 346 patients between May 2003 and February 2004.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients (95.6%) reported satisfaction with the informed consent process.

  • No demographic factors predicted dissatisfaction.
  • 20.2% received crucial information after bowel preparation, and 8.6% preferred pre-procedure consultation with a gastroenterologist.

    • Conclusions:

    • Patient satisfaction with informed consent in direct access colonoscopy is generally high.
    • Enhancing information delivery before bowel preparation may further mitigate medico-legal risks.
